Considerable complaint has been made
regarding steam threshers, Naturally
those complaints arise from those who
drive, and especially those who drive
fractious animals. OF all bugaboos that
essay to brighten horses, the steam
thresher is one of the worst. Certain
laws have been passed to regulate the
management of those machines. They
are not very rigid and do not prohibit
them totally from right TO the road.
This could not br enacted, as it would be
an infringement upon the rights of
American citizenship, but the state of
Illinois has done all within its power to
palliate the danger of running steam
threshers on the public highway For
the benefit of those who own machines
and for drivers, We submit the law upon
the question:
SECTION /. Be it enacted by the peo,
pie of the State of Illinois, represented in
the general assembly: That it shall be
the duty of all persons in charge of any
steam engine being propelled over the
highways Of this state wholly OF in part
by steam power, to stop said engine
whenever they meet anv person or per-
sons going in the opposite direction on
said highway with horses or other ami
mails, until said horses or other animals
shall have passed by, and said engine
shall be stopped when it is one hundred
400 yards distant from said horses or
other animals, and sooner in case said
horses OF other animals become fright
ened at said engine before arriving at
said distance. The owner or driver of
said engine shall also keep a good trusty
man not less than fifty go nor more than
two hundred (200l yards in advance of
said engine, to assist in controlling any
horse or other animals being driven or
used on said highway; until said horse
or other animal shall have passed by SAID
engine; and it shall be the duty of the
man thus sent 10 advance to use all
reasonable care and diligence to prevent
the occurrence of any accidents which
might result in case said animals become
frightened at said steam engine.
SEC. g 1t shall be unlawful for any
person to blow the whistle of said engine
while on the public highway.

THE YESIERDAYS

tel song of the yesterdays,
In tones that are sad and low.
And the tale is woven of signs and tears,
Of blasted hopes and heart sick fears;
And many voice from the vanished years
Thro' memorys portals flow.
sing song Of the yesterdays,
With the burden of many tears,
And the song has the sound Of funeral kneu,
That struck with the chimes of wedding bell
And mingIing, make the weirdest spell,
When echoing thro' the years.
paint sketch of the yesterdays
In eolors of somber hue,
And the sketch is on canvas now faded and worn,
Whose warp and wool are the years long flown,
And the colors are mixed with the tears they We
borne,
And the tints are of ashes and rue
dreamed dream of the yesterdays
That menory's whispers bring,
And the dream is of hopes forever fed,
That lnanhood's ardent fires fed.
All age is a requiem over themdead,
That only a few may sing.
But I'll give a smile to the yesterdays,
For smiles from tears won,
Such a smile as will dlWn on young child face
When looked-for joys its grief effaee,
Or its fears yet hopes for parents grace,
With the rays of the setting sun.

WALES OLDEST SON.

Some Friction Over the Question of His
observation-disclosures Rumors Afioat.
There is said to be some friction between
the queen and The Prince of Wales on the
subject of the latter's eldest son The great
question of his name has come to he pretty
well settled, and as the grandmother wished
it, All the papers now allude to him once
more as Prince Albert Victor, after brief
period of calling him Prince Edward, to
please his father. 1t is well understood that
he will be Edward again after the queen
dies, just as his father Will be when he as
cends the throne, but meantime the queen has
her own way, and he has TO bear her name
linked to that of the consort.
The present friction is understood to be
over the question of betrothing him to some
German princess that the queen has in mind.
Albert Edward, on the other hand, doesn't
want any more German blood introduced in
the line, and insists on the youth remaining
Free II is hard to see whom he can marry

ligion closes the door upon most of the royal

man an American or Canadian wife / sup

but YOU hear them very often-so often, i'll

bination- Interview
with an Experienced Snowman.
Yes, it takes an immense amount OF
money to keep show like this moving
The average show goer has not the re-
hottest idea of the daily expenses of such
a combination as this, and it takes good
many fifty cent pieces and quarters to
aggregate the daily expense bill of our
show, to say nothing of our profits"
The speaker was Mr. Ephriam Sells,
one of the famous millionaire showmen
of Sells Bros combination, which exhib-
tied iE Rock Island last week.
What are your daily expenses?" re-
sponded an ARGUS reporter, who had
asked the question which brought out the
statement on the part of Mr.. Sells.
"Well, our daily expenses will foot up
to $500, at least. Take our running
expenses now from Galesburg to Rock
Island and during our stay in Rock ISL
and and while in Davenport, and they
will be no less than $1,000. You see it
takes good many people to make up
that sum. Furthermore, if we had been
obliged to pay the railroad charges from
Rock Island to Davenport and return, in
stead of going over on the ferry and
bridge, it would have increased that
amount vastly"
What are the chief items in your ex-
pense bill7'
First and above all is the cost for
transportation, which is enormous.
especially since The passage of the inter
state commerce bill, which will make an
increase of 333 per cent. at least Yes

being the busy one with the farmers has
caused much lighter business than We
otherwise would have had Still we have
